What will happen in the coming days?
French striker Elie Junior Kropp, the star of England’s Bournemouth, wants to play for Barcelona and considers a move to Camp Nou “the dream of his life”, expressing his excitement for the opportunity that could be a major turning point in his football career, as the Catalan club prepare to make a formal offer that could reach 100 million euros.
Journalist Helena Condes of Spain’s Radio Cadena Cope reported that Carrubi is very “thrilled” to join Barcelona, stressing that the 22-year-old’s desire is clear and sincere and that he would be a valuable addition if the Catalan club made a formal offer to join him from Bournemouth.
Carroubi is now focusing on pre-season training with his club Bournemouth as he aims to be at his best in preparation for the new season, but he is ignoring reports of a move to the Catalan club that have dominated the headlines in Spanish newspapers in recent days.
Barcelona recently relaunched their alternative plan for the forward position (No.9) after talks failed to sign Argentine Julián Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, who remains the first choice to succeed Poland’s Robert Lewandowski as the team’s main spearhead for years to come.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has warned that Atletico Madrid’s offer to sign Alvarez is “not final” and will expire “between the end of July and the beginning of August”, prompting sporting director Deco to begin work on offering German coach Hans Flick a reliable alternative to Kruby.
According to Catalan publication Sport, Barcelona officials have been tracking the French striker for some time and despite a heated debate at the club’s offices between those who believe in his talent and those who consider him “immature”, they are willing to spend around €100 million to sign him from Bournemouth.
Bournemouth will not make it easy to let go of their young star, especially after the remarkable performances he put in last season, but such a huge fee could bring him closer to joining the Camp Nou, especially with the player’s clear desire to move and his burning desire to play for the Catalan club.
